3D Printed Perovskites: Lighting Revolution

• Experience 3D printing's amazing potential to transform lighting technology: Researchers from the University of Missouri and the University of Tulsa have combined perovskite nanocrystals and UV resin to produce a thin, stable color conversion layer. This could create cheaper, higher quality lighting with energy efficiency!

Researchers from the University of Missouri and the University of Tulsa developed a process using 3D printing that simplifies the manufacturing of stable lighting technology. By mixing perovskite nanocrystals capable of emitting green, yellow and red light with a transparent ultraviolet resin, they created a thin color conversion layer that transformed UV light into various colors and demonstrated a high level of stability. 3D printing is inexpensive, reducing production costs and could lead to cheaper, higher quality, energy efficient lighting.
